Documentary: Mind Your Mind: A Primer for Psychological Independence
In the past, the powers that be used obvious methods to gain/maintain control: weapons, blatant propaganda, brute force. Many folks believe that they are free to make our own choices about what they believe and how they choose to live their lives. Sadly, they fool themselves - they are not as free as they think.
Numerous studies have discovered how vulnerable our minds are to manipulation and suggestion, how easily our own psyche can be taken out of our control. From the politicians we vote for to the brands we buy, our so-called free-will is debatable & in our troubled times, it is under serious threat.
This documentary is a primer for psychological independence, teaching us to process more than our minds are comfortable with. From the glamorous, sex-obsessed world of advertising to the vacuous speeches of leading politicians, our responses are being silently but surely manipulated.
If we can wise up to the techniques used to control us on a daily basis, we can move these processes from our unconscious to our conscious mind. This documentary reminds us that “in this game, our only enemies are ignorance and complacence”, and it provides us with the psychological tools to fight them.
